Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!

Tao Zhixiang looked towards the sound and saw a young couple watching the lanterns, and the voice just now seemed to come from overhead.

Upon closer inspection, she found that the three- or four-year-old child was riding on the man’s shoulders.

Seeing that scene, Tao Zhixiang felt a warmth in her heart.

It seemed like yet another happy family!

At this time, the young mother explained to the child, "That’s not a chicken, it’s a Phoenix!"

"What’s a Phoenix?"

"The Phoenix is the king of all birds, symbolizes good fortune, and is also known as the immortal bird."

"The immortal bird means it will never die?" the child asked curiously.

"Yes."

"Then, mama, let’s raise one at home too!"

...

Over there, Tao Zhixiang laughed.

A child is truly a child, yet only in childhood can one maintain such a pure, untainted heart, so carefree and worry-free.

The couple left, and Tao Zhixiang still gazed at the back of the child, somewhat lost in thought.

Chu Mucheng reached out and waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"Don’t look, they’ve walked far away!"

Tao Zhixiang retracted her gaze.

"What, do you like children?" Chu Mucheng’s eyes fell on her face, noticing the slight forlornness in her eyes.

Tao Zhixiang smiled, "The kid just now was really cute! Wasn’t he?"

"Hmph, cute? I thought he was a bit silly! Couldn’t even recognize a Phoenix, calling it a big chicken!" Chu Mucheng spoke with no mercy.

Tao Zhixiang squinted her eyes.

"Chu Mucheng, you’re really good at finding faults! Could you tell the difference when you were that age?"

Chu Mucheng stared at Tao Zhixiang, saying softly, "Well, I wasn’t that dumb. I could definitely tell a chicken apart from a Phoenix!"

Tao Zhixiang rolled her eyes at him, "You’re amazing, right!"

"Of course I am!" Chu Mucheng argued, "I could read ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’ and ’Water Margin’ at the age of seven. It’s just that I never bothered to show off!"

Tao Zhixiang said, "And you call that not showing off? To me, you’re just like that ’Wounded Boy’, how come in high school, at the critical moment, you became such a loser? Last in grades but number one in dating, hmph!"

After saying that, Tao Zhixiang quickly walked towards the small path over there.

It wasn’t the path for viewing the lanterns, but led to the lakeside... and there were far fewer people.

Chu Mucheng stood in place, watching the back of the little woman.

She’s really...

Is it because he’s spoiling her too much now, so now she’s becoming more and more audacious?

Even using high school matters to mock him?

Does this mean she was actually paying a lot of attention to him back in high school?

Otherwise, how would she know so much?

Calling him a loser? That’s because he never put much effort into exams, but during the college entrance exam, his performance was... not weak!

And when she spoke just now, her tone seemed a bit... well, sour!

Hehe...

Could it be jealousy?

Her feelings have never been explicitly stated to him, but he just knows that this woman clearly loves him!

This woman seems to have many secrets she’s hiding from him!

But it’s okay, he’ll have plenty of time to uncover them, little by little.

At this moment, Tao Zhixiang suddenly turned back to look at Chu Mucheng, and among the crowd, he was standing underneath the lantern with a dragon and a Phoenix.

The lantern light cast a warm glow on his cold face.

At this moment, with such a scene...

Suddenly, Tao Zhixiang remembered a line of poetry — "Suddenly turning back, that person is at the dimmest light."
